Hi,
I am running a CentOS 7 Sentora installation and I cannot find the StartServers and SpareServers configuration for Apache.
I have looked in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Am I looking in the wrong place? It is no where in that file.
Thank you!

On CentOS, the prefork module is loaded in the file /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf By default, there isn’t an specific configuration setup. You can add yours to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or create an additional config file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/
If you want to use the Ubuntu defaults, it would be:
<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxRequestWorkers 150
MaxConnectionsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
On Ubuntu, those are set in /etc/apache2/mods-available/mpm_prefork.conf
